Birth Year Effects

Birth Year Effects refer to the way the year someone is born can influence various life outcomes, such as education, career, or even health. This is often because societal events, cultural trends, or economic conditions during that year shape opportunities and behaviors. For example, individuals born during economic downturns might face different challenges than those born during prosperous times. Recognizing this effect helps researchers understand how broader historical or societal factors impact individual development across different birth cohorts.
